Its genome is very similar to that of humans.

The study of its genome may give clues to the origin of drug resistance in bacteria in hospitals.

V. cholera causes disease in humans and would therefore be a good model organism.

The study of its genome may help in the development of novel treatments (e.g., new antibiotics) effective against this organism.
